HOLIDAY SPOILER ALERT: Best Buy Cancels Online Holiday Sale Orders

MYFOXTAMPABAY.COM - Best Buy is canceling some customers' Christmas
orders, citing a 'situation' that will undoubtedly leave the company
looking like a Grinch.

Specifically, the Minneapolis-based
electronics giant is saying it cannot fulfill certain ‘Black Friday' and
‘Cyber Monday' specials sold online. Those items have reportedly been
backordered since the annual post-Thanksgiving shopping spree.

"Due
to overwhelming demand of hot product offerings on BestBuy.com during
the November and December time period, we have encountered a situation
that has affected redemption of some of our customers' online orders,"
said Best Buy's Jeremy Baier in a statement. "We are very sorry for the
inconvenience this has caused and we have notified the affected
customers.

Many customers are venting their rage in the company's online forums.

"What
a bunch of Bologna," reads one post. "On Black Friday, I had ordered
the [Sony] PlayStation 3 160gb Holiday Bundle and it was confirmed with
an order… Yesterday, my wife got an e-mail that they will not be getting
our product and are canceling the order."

Oddly, a quick check
of the Best Buy website Wednesday afternoon indicated the Sony Play
Station 3 was still available for purchase and overnight shipping was
available.

It was not immediately clear exactly what items are
affected. Also unclear was whether customers would receive compensation
for the inconvenience of having an order canceled so close to
Christmas.

I'm more of a dog person, but if there is a place that is willing to pay me to live on an island in Greece and take care of cats, I'll become a feline fanatic. Well, there is someone offering such a job right now and they claim it's a real opening. God's Little People Cat Rescue posted on Facebook that they are looking for someone who can look after 55 cats on a little Greek island paradise called Syros.
